You get your weekends back. No more pushing a mower in the heat or scrambling to catch up after a week of rain turned your yard into a jungle.
Your property looks clean and maintained without you lifting a finger. Edges are crisp. Grass height is even. Clippings aren’t left in clumps across the yard.
And when the town drives by or neighbors walk past, your lawn doesn’t stand out for the wrong reasons. It just looks like someone’s taking care of it—because someone is.
Emerson Excavating and Trucking has been operating in Saratoga County since 1997. Josh runs the business with his son, and he’s on almost every job to make sure it’s done the way it should be.
We’re not a lawn care franchise with rotating crews. You’re working with people who know Hadley’s properties, terrain, and what it takes to keep grass maintained through a full growing season in upstate New York.
If you need more than mowing—land clearing, grading, site prep—we handle that too. One call covers it.
You reach out by phone or text. We ask a few questions about your property—size, terrain, how often you want it mowed—and give you a clear price. No hidden fees or surprise charges later.
We schedule your first visit and show up on time with professional equipment. Josh or someone from the crew walks the property, handles the mowing, trims edges where needed, and makes sure nothing’s left half-done.
After that, we keep you on a regular schedule if that’s what you want. Weekly during peak growing season, less often when growth slows down. You’re not locked into anything you don’t need.
If something comes up—storm damage, overgrowth from a missed week, or you just need a one-time cut before company arrives—we can handle that too.
Ready to get started?
You get a full lawn mowing with professional-grade equipment that cuts evenly and doesn’t tear up your grass. We’re not using homeowner mowers that bog down in thick growth or leave uneven lines.
Edge trimming along walkways, driveways, and beds is part of the service. Your property doesn’t look half-finished when we leave.
In Hadley, properties vary. Some are flat and straightforward. Others have slopes, wooded edges, or areas that need more attention. We adjust to what your property actually needs instead of running the same pattern everywhere and calling it done.
If your lawn’s overgrown or hasn’t been maintained in a while, we can handle that too. Our equipment and experience with land clearing mean we’re not limited to lawns that are already in good shape.
Pricing depends on the size of your property, how often you need service, and what condition the lawn’s in when we start. For most residential properties in Hadley, you’re looking at somewhere between $50 and $125 per visit.
If your lawn is overgrown or hasn’t been maintained regularly, the first visit might cost more because it takes longer and requires more effort to get it back to a manageable state. After that, regular maintenance visits are more straightforward.
We give you a clear estimate upfront after asking a few questions about your property. No surprises, no hidden fees. You know what you’re paying before we start.
Most properties in Hadley need mowing once a week during peak growing season—typically late spring through mid-summer. That keeps grass at a healthy height and prevents it from getting out of control.
When growth slows down in late summer or early fall, you can usually stretch it to every 10 days or two weeks. It depends on rainfall, temperature, and how fast your specific lawn grows.
If you skip too many weeks during peak season, the grass gets tall enough that one mowing won’t bring it back to where it should be. You end up with clumps of clippings, uneven cutting, and a lawn that looks worse after mowing than before. Staying on a regular schedule prevents that.
Yes. We’ve got the equipment and experience to handle lawns that haven’t been mowed in weeks or even months.
Overgrown grass, thick weeds, and properties that standard mowers can’t handle—we deal with that regularly. Our background in land clearing and site prep means we’re not limited to lawns that are already maintained.
The first cut on a neglected property takes longer and costs more because there’s more work involved. But once we get it back to a manageable state, regular maintenance keeps it there without the same level of effort.
Both. Some customers want weekly or bi-weekly service throughout the season. Others just need a one-time cut before an event, after a vacation, or when they’re selling a property.
If you want regular service, we’ll put you on a schedule that makes sense for your lawn and keep coming back without you having to call each time. If you just need a single visit, that works too.
You’re not locked into a contract or committed to anything long-term. If your needs change, we adjust.
We cover Hadley and the surrounding areas across Saratoga, Warren, and Washington Counties. If you’re within a reasonable distance of Hadley, we can likely get to you.
We’ve been working in this area since 1997, so we know the local terrain, soil conditions, and what properties around here typically need. That experience matters when you’re dealing with sloped lots, rocky soil, or properties that aren’t cookie-cutter flat.
If you’re not sure whether we cover your specific location, just call or text. We’ll let you know right away.
We reschedule for the next available day when conditions are right. Mowing wet grass doesn’t do your lawn any favors—it clumps, doesn’t cut evenly, and can damage the turf.
We keep an eye on the weather and will reach out if we need to adjust your schedule. Most of the time, we can get back on track within a day or two once things dry out.
If you’re on a regular schedule and weather pushes things back, we make sure to catch up so your lawn doesn’t get out of control. You’re not left waiting an extra full week just because of one rainy day.
